Photos of winning entries from the annual Keep Montgomery County Beautiful (KMCB) photography and beautification contests are now displayed on the Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s (MCDOT) Community Outreach website.

The annual beautification contest is open to community groups, businesses, public institutions, and other organizations undertaking landscaping projects that enhance the appearance of non-residential properties. The photo contest is open to residents whose photographs capture the beauty of landmarks, people, and places within Montgomery County.

Twenty years ago, concerned volunteers formed the KMCB Task Force to work with the County to develop beautification projects, anti-litter and recycling programs, and to educate and change citizen attitudes about littering and graffiti.

Nominations forms for this year’s competition will soon be available. For more information, see the website or call the Office of Community Outreach at 240-777-7155.
